Hey. I need some advise on where I can buy a deactivated Lee Enfield No4 mk1. I want to display it on the wall and don't have any other guns and from discussions on here the deactivated is the best option.

However I'm having trouble finding one in Canada, stores in the UK said they won't ship here. Is there a good way to find these that might not be obvious to me?. All I have to done so far is to Google for shops and classifieds. Are auctions an option etc, any you would recommend?. Is there a good place to put a wanted ad?

Thanks in advance

Gunpost.ca and CGN (CanadianGunNuts) are the two go-to's as far as firearm classifieds in Canada if you wanted to join and make a post to see if anyone has one.

Alternatively you could contact a Gunsmith in regards to buying one and having it deactivated. Maybe they'd be able to assist you by purchasing the functioning firearm and deactivate it in return for you paying upfront.
